FASCISM - The government orders you to give the fruits of your labor to others. If you refuse the government arrests you.

COMMUNISM- The government takes the fruits of your labor and gives it to others. If you refuse the government arrests you.

SOCIALISM- The government politely takes the fruits of your labor and gives it to others. If you refuse the government arrests you.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM - The government, at the request of 51% of voters, politely takes the fruits of your labor and gives it to others. If you refuse the government arrests you.

SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State forces you to give one to your neighbor.

COMMUNISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and gives you some milk.

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, promises more free cows, lets you vote and gives you sour milk.

FASCISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both and shoots your wife and kids.

BUREAUCRATISM
You have 2 cows.
The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.

CONTEMPORARY WALL STREETISM
You have two cows.
You sell one, bundle the other with a goat, a mule,
and two dry cows.
You pile into the derivatives market, buy a Gulfstream
and when it all comes down around your ears...
You go to the government for a bailout.

Democrat’s America: The government, at the request of 51% of voters, politely takes the fruits of your labor and gives it to others. If you refuse the government arrests you.

We can learn a lot from our store of cultural wisdom, in this case the 'fairy tale' of who will eat the bread. The little red hen (quite farcical that the Virginia Restaurant bore that name) wants to go through all of the steps to make some bread. Her peers, refuse to contribute until she successfully makes the bread through her own exclusive efforts. Then THEY (aka Socialist LEFT) want to enjoy the fruits of HER LABOR and ENTERPRISE!

While the fairy tale has her successfully refusing the greedy non-participants, in todays LEFTIST environments, it would be politicos like Sen. Warren (D MA) who would shriek "You didn't make this" and descend with her crowd of 'gimme dats' to force the entrepreneur to GIVE THEM the fruits of THEIR LABOR!

Old Soviet worker joke. We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us.

There is an alternate version to THE LITTLE RED HEN story in which the other animals protest, march, wave banners, make demands, and the farmer makes the Little Red Hen share with everyone. The last line is “But everyone wondered why the Little Red hen never baked bread again.”

Fascism is just socialism that keeps some private businesses around to scapegoat/blame when socialism screws things up, and to take them over when they either do very well, or they run afoul of socialist leaders.

BUREAUCRATIC SOCIALISM: You have two cows. The government takes them and puts them in a barn with everyone else's cows. They are cared for by ex-chicken farmers. You have to take care of the chickens the government took from the chicken farmers. The government gives you as much milk and as many eggs as the regulations say you should need.

IE: You are controlled by Elites in Socalism
